RNC Apparently Paying Legal Bills for Hope Hicks

“The RNC paid nearly half a million dollars to a law firm that represents former White House communications director Hope Hicks and others in the Russia investigations,” the Washington Post reports.

“Last year, the RNC began tapping a pool of money stockpiled for election recounts and other legal matters to pay the ballooning legal fees of Trump and his associates drawn into the Russia investigations.”

would have to bear the lawyer-related financial burdens they have rightfully inflicted upon themselves...

and part of me recognizes that the Repukes are a lot more proactive at ratf*ckery than Dems, and Democratic staffers would more often get bankrupted/shafted under a more stringent rules regime.

I'm torn...
